Do you ignore them or tell them to get lost? I'm talking about people who call you to hang out, not coworkers or people you see on a daily basis.

I ignore them. Recently I had a guy stop in my work last September who I had not seen since 1996. At that time I had known him since 1987 so more time had passed not seeing him since I knew him. He was always a hassle and a little too crazy for me. Basically a friend through a friend so when he popped into work out of the blue I didn't recognize him even but we exchanged phone numbers even though I had no desire to call him. i just thought it was the friendly thing to do.

he called a couple times between september and December and left a message but I just ignored it and didn't return the call. I felt like a dick at the time but I'm glad I didn't call back. Knock on wood with fingers crossed I think he got the message.

I just plan to ignore like bob said... haven't seen them in about a year and don't really care to. It's an old jamming buddy, who I guess has no one else to jam with. I don't really enjoy/have the time to hang out and I don't want to jam without any intention of doing anything with it. I remember one guy who I auditioned for and after 2-3 practices I told him I didn't want to do it. He sent me like 8 e-mails crying to me about it. I wish I could find the thread. Hopefully this guy has more pride than that.

BTW, I've got some diminished arrpeggios I am working on this week. I'll be posting them on here eventually because I have no idea what they are. I can tell it's in F# minor. Any tips for trying to break them down on my own? Print out the tab and write the notes above them?
